Announcement – New Committee STCOBANSW/ACT 2022-2023
It is with great joy and satisfaction that we announce the newly elected OBA committee for the forthcoming period 2022-2023. The new committee was appointed at the AGM concluded on Sunday 30th October 2022.
The faithful together with some new some young Thomians and a few visitors from inter-state gathered on a barmy spring afternoon at the Baulkham Hills Community Centre for the STCOBANSW/ACT’s AGM 2022. Arranged in an atmosphere of friendship and camaraderie, interwoven with that intrinsic characteristic, “Thomian Spirit” the formal proceedings were preceded by a fellowship lunch. Sanjiv Vivekanandan, the current President was re-elected President, whilst most current committee members will continue to serve in the new committee. Yet again as in 2021, it is noteworthy that young Thomians were elected to the committee some of them taking responsibility in the OBA’s executive committee.
The guest speaker was Vijendran Watson. This was a highlight with Vijendran delving into his past, reflected on ‘college life’ that inculcated values, morals and standards, holding him in good stead throughout his exceptional professional career. OBA Patron, Ananda Amaranath made his customary Patrons’ address expounded on his take on the perception of ‘influencing’ in professional and business careers.
We thank all those who attended the AGM and others who sent their good wishes.
